“We desire that you live up to your full potential, for only then will you experience both harmony and happiness. Only then will you possess real health, not just freedom from disease.”

From Yoga – A way of life by Dr. B. Padmanabha Pillai.

“Yoga is an excellent, balanced physical discipline. It is a brilliant psychological tool and philosophy for life. Ultimately, it is a uniquely personal, spiritual practice.”

Duncan Hulin, Founder of the Devon School of Yoga.

“I use yoga to energise when feeling tired, to relax when feeling tense, to calm down when feeling agitated, to regain a sense of proportion when feeling hard done by. I continue to practice because it would be impossible not to.”

Pauline, DSY Graduate.

“Arjuna, those who eat too much or eat too little, who sleep too much or sleep too little, will not succeed in meditation. But those who are temperate in eating and sleeping, work and recreation, will come to the end of sorrow through meditation.”
